Halloween - How are you going to keep your vehicle safe?

Hello everyone. It dawned on me tonight that Halloween is tommarow night and I have to park outside at an apt complex. What I am planning to do is instead of parking my car on the end of the row, which happens to face the street, I will park it closer to the apt complex. Also my car could use a good wash, but I am going to put off doing so, because a fresh looking car might attract more attention.

So what are you doing?

Greg

In the garage... but putting in the driveway (bait) and hanging out on the roof with my paintball gun sounds like fun.

Dress like Michael Myers with a butcher knife and stand beside the car.

I wonder if they make fake eggings and such. You could throw some saran wrap and some fake eggings on the car to make it look like it was already hit....

I've heard of people (seriously) freezing paintballs, then standing guard near their window, ready to return fire if necessary.

Just... don't hit the car!

Car cover maybe? I'm really glad I have access to a garage...

Garaged here...For those of you who don't have a garage you could always sit in your car with an ugly mask on and if someone eggs your car....GUN IT and see how fast the little turds can run.

I don't have a garage so it does worry me a little each year. Though we don't have a history of halloween vadalism in our neighborhood, there are a lot of kids entering their teen years around us.

I have a motion sensor light by the cars and until bedtime, I'll be in my TV room which overlooks where they are parked. So, I'm not worried until I go to bed.

After I go to bed, I'm exposed but that is what insurance is for.
